I am sorry, but we cannot represent you or any customer from this site, it is strictly forbidden by the site rules. If you were deported for a drug felony and you have now passed the minimum 10 year waiting requirement, you will have to also prove that you are no longer involved in such activity since the arrest. Furthermore, you can apply online with the SSA for benefits. To assist you in getting your visa back, you need to consider using an immigration law attorney to assist in setting up an interview and possibly even a hearing to prove you have rehabilitated yourself.

I hope you found my answer helpful, but please understand that if you did not get all of the information you may have wanted to use the REPLY button and we are happy to continue working with you.

If you have additional questions, please keep in mind that I do not know what you already know or don't know, or with what you need help, unless you tell me. Please consider that I am answering the question or question that is posed in your posting based upon my reading of your post and sometimes misunderstandings can occur. If I did not answer the question you thought you were asking, please respond with the specific question you wanted answered.

Also remember, sometimes the law does not support what we want it to support, but that is not the fault of the person answering the question, so please be courteous.

PLEASE NOTE WELL, LEGAL ANSWERS TAKE MORE THAN “MINUTES” TO PUT TOGETHER AS WE ARE DEALING WITH LAWS OF 50 STATES PLUS FEDERAL LAWS, AS WELL AS DEALING WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT IT WILL BE MORE THAN “MINUTES” IN SOME CASES BEFORE YOU GET A RESPONSE, BUT BE ASSURED YOU ARE NOT BEING IGNORED.

There can also be a delay of an hour or more in between my answers because I may be helping other customers or taking a break.

Thanks PaulMJD...I have read your answer and what you say is clear to me, but I'm a bit confussed about my case and I'll need your advise on it: Mr. James M. Campbell was encharged on my defense, back in 1983. A year latter or so, he was deffending someone else that was being entrapped by the same informant. He posted an article on The Montevideo's newspaper, mentioning my case as me being a victim of Mr. Dardo Iturburo's entrappment just as his new client, at the end , his new client were poven entrapped by the DEA's and Dardo, walking out with time served, due to Dardo's interpretation in court, twisting everything was said. The article was in the Orlando Sentinel and in the Montevideo's newspaper, it's title: "Como se Comporta Ernestina".

I need to clean my past record, fore I have proof that I was a modal citizen before then and after. I can send all my record since I arrived to Colombia, I have held honest and respectful jobs, such as University English Professor in several carreers, I even have a Pre-school for children here in my home town, it's a nonprofit organization called "Only Kids". I have all my family living in Orlando, Fla. and since it's been almost 18 years that I left the USA; I have grandchildren that I haven't seen personally, yet and I,m also in need to get my Social Security Pension, for I have been stuguling to survive here in this country and I am already 67 years old.

Thanks for your attention and clarification on my possible chances to reunite with all my beloved family.

If you can prove this was an entrapment and he proved the informant entrapped others in another case, then this is grounds for you to hire a local attorney to file a Petition for Post Conviction Relief to vacate the conviction and the basis is that new information not available to you in your trial that this informant was setting people up. If the court will not vacate the conviction, your next step is to apply for a Pardon to the governor (if this was a state charge) or the President (if this was a federal charge) and provide the evidence of the entrapment and your clean record and supporting letters from clergy and community leaders as to your good citizen conduct since this case occurred and that will remove this conviction from your records.
